How Can The Large Bruise On Lower Shin Be Treated?
I got hit in the lower shin about 9 or 10 days ago. It is still completely numb over that spot, there is also a large bruise (not too crazy in color) and it has spread down to my ankle and foot. More importantly however I wonder... why is my shin (where I was hit) all squishy, almost like memory foam (not a soft), when I push on the area, there is an indent that stays. Is it pus? It is infected? Not sure what this is!
